If You're Wondering Where All Those Posts Came From . . .

Just in case you're wondering where all those additional posts came from . . . . I had another blog besides this one. I decided that one blog was quite enough to keep up with, so I kind of merged them!

It was easy to do. First, I exported the other blog posts to my computer, then I imported it all to this blog. Once all the posts were here, I chose which ones to publish and which ones to delete. It was a lot less complicated than I thought it would be!

Just thought you might like to know.

Bright Smiley Face Cookies


When I asked Jen, my daughter-in-law in Vanuatu, what she wanted for her birthday, she said, "Cookies!!"

So that's what I did.




I sent a box of three dozen pink and purple Smiley Face Cookies. They arrived in a little less than two weeks, right on her birthday!!

Hope it was a great one, Jen!!

Butterfly Cupcakes & Cookies


Sylvie wanted a Butterfly Cake for her fourth birthday. Due to a conflict in schedules, a cake was out of the question. So we decided on cupcakes.

Here's what I came up with:



I made cookies as well, but didn't get a picture. You can see enough to get the idea in this picture:


I can't believe you're four, Sylvie!! Hope you had a very Happy Birthday!!

Train Birthday Cake

This train cake was made for the first birthday of a little boy whose dad grew up with my kids.



The cake is frosted with whipped buttercream from Sam's. The train, mountains, clouds and greeting are all made of fondant.





Hope you had a Happy Birthday, Tristan!!

More Razorback Cookies


State of Arkansas and Razorback cookies for a friend who was hosting a Republican Women's meeting in Arkansas.



Once again, I forgot to take pictures before bagging them!


Another Doll House Headboard

Wow!! I haven't been on here for a while! This has been one busy summer.


I was going through some pictures and realized I hadn't put this headboard on here. We made this one for our granddaughter, Emily, for Christmas.




You might remember this headboard that we made for Natalie and Nicole.


Emily has a smaller bed and a much smaller room, so we had to build her headboard a bit different.



I think it looks a bit plain. I'm going to come up with something to add to it, to kind of fill in the blank spaces. Someday soon. I'll post pics when I do!

Music Themed Wedding Cake

Ruth and I made this wedding cake for a friend she used to work with. Ruth was also in the wedding, so it's been a stressful week!



Both the bride and groom are music majors, so the cake was fitting. They had a bride and groom topper they planned on putting on top of the cake, but it was wobbly and top-heavy, so they didn't use it.

Again, congratulations, Carrie and Tim!
